Mother and daughter in hospital after hit and run

Police are looking for four men who ran from the scene of hit and run in which a mother and daughter were injured.

A 54-year-old woman and her 15-year-old daughter were hurt when the car they were travelling in was hit by another vehicle on Birchfield Road in Perry Barr at 6:45pm on Sunday evening.

The men - who are all believed to be Asian - were travelling in a green Honda Civic when it collided with a blue Toyota.

The mother suffered serious head injuries and is still in hospital, while her fifteen-year-old daughter was treated for minor injuries at the Birmingham Children's Hospital.

"We urgently want to trace these men; they ran from the scene of a serious collision without the slightest concern for a mum and young girl who lay injured."The four men are all believed to be of Asian origin and aged between 18- and 25-years-old. All will have obvious injuries, including facial cuts, and one will be missing a distinctive pair of blue-framed glasses with powerful lenses.

The car the men were travelling in was abandoned at the scene and police believe it was stolen. It's being forensically examined.
